If anyone could play the role of Caitlin Clark in a movie, who would it be? The Indiana Fever star shared her own insights on some casting suggestions herself.
In a press event, Caitlin Clark was asked by reporters about who she wants to play her in an “inevitable” biopic. The reigning WNBA Rookie of The Year gave it a little thought before deciding on an answer.
“That’s tough,” Clark said . “Anne Hathaway? Is that a good pick?”

The interview was from the 2024 WNBA Draft Day, which was posted by the Indiana Fever social media account to look back on interesting stories from draft day, in light of the 2025 draft.
Anne Hathaway’s net worth is estimated to be around $80 million. She is widely recognized for her versatility and has portrayed a range of memorable roles throughout her career. Some of her most iconic performances include Mia Thermopolis in “The Princess Diaries,” Andy Sachs in “The Devil Wears Prada,” Fantine in “Les Misérables” (which earned her an Academy Award), and Selina Kyle/Catwoman in “The Dark Knight Rises.”
Biopics of sports figures are quite common and have become a popular genre in the film industry. These movies often celebrate the inspiring journeys of athletes, showcasing their struggles, triumphs, and the impact they’ve had on their respective sports.
Films like “Raging Bull” (Jake LaMotta), “42” (Jackie Robinson), “I, Tonya” (Tonya Harding), and “Moneyball” (Billy Beane) are just a few examples of successful sports biopics that have resonated with audiences. The genre appeals to both sports enthusiasts and general viewers, as it combines the drama of real-life events with the excitement of athletic achievements.
In her recent guest interview for the 2025 Masters Tournament, Caitlin Clark talked about her “number one” sports event that is not the WNBA, March Madness, or any basketball event. For her, it’s the Masters Tournament.
“I honestly would probably put it [the Master’s tournament] number one, and I think it’s just so different than everything else,” Clark said. “There’s really just nothing like this, and I think, honestly, the aspect of like not having your phone is so unique.”
“Like, you can tell everybody is so invested, and they’re really just there to watch the greatness of the athletes. And even the golfers talking about it after their rounds, like they feel a different level of engagement from the fans too and how invested they are.”
Caitlin Clark last played golf during the RSM Classic Pro-Am on November 20, 2024. She teed off alongside fellow Iowa native Zach Johnson, playing nine holes as part of the PGA Tour event.
